DETROIT, June 4 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Learning CPR and how to use
an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can mean the difference between
life and death for someone suffering from Sudden Cardiac Arrest or other
medical emergency. During this first National CPR/AED Awareness Week, the
Southeastern Michigan Chapter of the American Red Cross encourages everyone
to learn these important skills that could someday save a life.

"We want the public to know that everyone has the power to save a life.
At least one person in every household and in every office should be
trained and certified in first aid and CPR/AED use," says Jim Laverty, CEO
of the Southeastern Michigan Chapter. "On average, it takes emergency
personnel 10 minutes to arrive on scene. For someone who is choking or has
stopped breathing, that may be too late. By learning simple rescue skills
you can go from being a helpless bystander to a person with the ability to
take control and help during an emergency."

The Southeastern Michigan Chapter offers several Health and Safety
courses, including First Aid/CPR/AED Training throughout the tri-county
area. In 2007, the chapter trained over 50,000 people in this life-saving
skill.

In observance of National CPR/AED Awareness Week, the Red Cross will
have an AED display table at Detroit Metro Airport on June 5 and 6 to show
the public how to use an AED machine. The display table will be located
near the water feature at the McNamara Terminal all day on both days. This
event is free and is open to ticketed passengers and employees with access
to the terminal.

"Sixty AED's have been installed at Detroit Metropolitan Airport and
they have been used successfully to save lives," said airport authority CEO
Lester Robinson. "We support the Red Cross in promoting public awareness in
first aid, CPR and AED education."

The Southeastern Michigan Chapter of the American Red Cross is the
primary source of crisis prevention, preparedness and response education in
Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties. A wide range of First Aid, CPR and
Automated External Defibrillation (AED) courses are offered by the Red
